To say I am excited about this finish is an understatement. From the minute I found out that the 2012-2013 Mystery Block of the Month from www.fatquartershop.com was going to use Vintage Modern by Bonnie and Camille I couldn't wait to begin. I finished the quilt up last night and took the photos this morning.
Two of my favorite blocks in the quilt. I love, love, love the grey and red one!
I purchased a different fabric for the backing than the one that was offered in the program. The grey pebble fabric in the photo above will be the backing. I am making a phone call to a new (to me) long arm quilter who is much much closer to my house to have this one quilted. I have been quilting my own quilts for the last 3 years and decided it was time to have one quilted by someone else. The best thing is that this is mine, all mine. I have never made a quilt for me, they always go to someone else.
Beautiful! I love that fabric too, and this quilt is a wonder!
ReplyDeleteHow exciting! I am working on mine, but I didn't order the finishing kit. Yours is the first one I've seen finished. I love it!
